Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Xiao Jin gently held Su Ying’s arm. He didn’t immediately ask about Duke Jingguo s condition. Instead, he asked softly, “Are you tired?”

It was just a minimally invasive surgery. It was definitely not tiring, but it was a little taxing.

“I’m fine. His life is no longer in danger. It’s just that he needs to take more care of his body in the future.”

What Su Ying didn’t say was that the successive severe damage to his body had exhausted the last bit of Duke Jingguo’s foundation. Even if he recovered later, it was unlikely that he would be able to attend court sessions to handle state affairs for Xiao Jin like before.

Chu Min’s eyes flickered when he heard Su Ying’s words. “Thank you, Your Imperial Highness. It has been hard on Your Imperial Highness.”

Su Ying’s almond-shaped eyes were icy as she looked at Chu Min. “Why didn’t I see Duke Jingguo’s wife today? Why are you the only one watching over Duke Jingguo by his side?”

Chu Min replied, “Your Imperial Highness, Mother suffered a huge blow after Father fell ill. Her health hasn’t been good for the past few days, so I let Mother have a good rest and only kept the other people to attend to Father. I was worried that they would disrupt Father while he is recovering, so I didn’t let them go near Father.”

The corners of Su Ying’s lips twitched but she did not comment.

“Duke Jingguo’s condition is still not stable. Your Majesty should leave a few Imperial Physicians behind to take care of him.”

Xiao Jin also had this intention.

After giving his orders, Xiao Jin left Duke Jingguo’s Residence with Su Ying.

Chu Min followed them all the way to the entrance. “Farewell, Your Majesty, Your Imperial Highness.”

Xiao Jm led Su Ying into the horse carriage. The moment the curtain fell, Chu Min’s eyes gradually turned icy.

Your Majesty, It might be good if you send someone to investigate this guy Chu Min,” Su Ying said casually after the convoy started moving.

Xiao Jm also noticed Chu Min’s abnormal behavior. “There is indeed something wrong with him.”

Su Ying raised an eyebrow. “You noticed it before?”

Xiao Jin slowly raised his eyes. “I was only a little puzzled previously.”

The spies in the capital city did not pay special attention to Chu Min. They only saw him with Prince Jiangning by accident. If this had happened in the past, it would have been fine.

However, ever since Xiao Shihang was beheaded, the group of profligate rich wastrels who used to hang around Prince Jiangning did not dare to get close to him anymore. They were all trying to avoid arousing suspicion. However, Chu Min, who did not have much interaction with Prince Jiangning in the past, took the initiative to invite him to a meal. This was not normal.

However, they had yet to find out exactly what sort of involvement Chu Min had with Prince Jiangning.

“I feel that there’s something strange about Duke Jingguo’s sudden illness this time.” Therefore, Su Ying extracted the contents of his stomach to see if she could discover anything.

Then Chu Yunn… how do you plan to deal with her?”

Xiao Jin’s eyes were filled with viciousness. “Hang her on the city wall until she takes her last breath!”

His proposal eased the anger in Su Ying’s chest a little. That girl even had the guts to plot against her man, so she didn’t deserve pity if she died.

Su Ying gave a soft snort and leaned against the cushion behind her, but she immediately felt a wave of hot breaths enveloping her.

At some point, Xiao Jin had already sat behind her. There was already a heater in the horse carriage, so Su Ying felt uncomfortably hot when he leaned so close to her.

“Why are you sticking so close? Back off quickly. It’s so hot.”

Xiao Jin didn’t press forward anymore but he did not back off either. Instead, he reached out and pulled her into his arms. Even his breath that sprayed on her neck was too hot.

“Yingying, it’s so unbearable for me…”

Su Ying frowned. She suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Xiao Jin. She realized that his face was totally flushed, and even his neck was reddish. He must have been given a very strong dosage of drug.

Her eyes suddenly erupted with intense murderous intent. “That woman did it?”

Xiao Jin leaned against Su Ying. As he inhaled the familiar scent on her body, he only felt the wild restlessness in his body intensify. His two hands began misbehaving as he replied, “Perhaps.”

“They are courting death!”

Su Ying got ready to get up and get out of the carriage, but Xiao Jin hugged her even tighter. “Yingying, let’s do it first…”

Su Ying reached out and pinched his hand between the thumb and forefinger to make him more clear-minded.

“Your intelligence has really gone to waste.” She took out a bottle of medicine and bade him take the pill, but Xiao Jin pursed his lips tightly and refused to open his mouth.

“You are my medicine.” He had been using his internal energy to suppress the effects of the drug tn Duke Jingguo’s Residence just now. Now that he was in such a confined space with Su Ying, he didn’t want to hold back any longer! Su Ying narrowed her eyes.

In the next moment, a figure tumbled down from the horse carriage.

Zhang Shuming got a shock and hurriedly stopped the convoy.

When he saw that the person who fell on the snow-covered ground was Xiao Jm, he instantly withdrew his gaze and pretended not to see him.

It’s cool in the snow. Take your time to clear your head.” With that, Su Ying ordered the convoy to continue moving forward.

How could Zhang Shuming dare to say anything? He shot eye signals at the Imperial Guards desperately, telling them to go quickly. When the Empress was angry, she was even more frightening than the Emperor!

“Your Majesty, you are on your own!” he thought to himself.

As he watched the convoy leave, the heat in Xiao Jin’s body subsided by half. He picked up the medicine bottle on the ground and opened it with resignation. He then took out a pill and popped it into his mouth.

His Yingying was extremely adorable even when she was angry!

Xiao Jin had Chu Yunn hung on the city wall and the reason was she had attempted to seduce the Emperor. The Emperor became furious and hung her on the city wall as a warning to everyone.

“Oh my god, isn’t that the Eldest Young Miss of Duke Jingguo’s Residence? She actually did such a shameless thing. She usually pretended to be so virtuous. So she’s also a shameless bitch.”

“That’s right. To think that she was the model of a noble lady in the capital city

in the past. Yet she was capable of such a thing.”

“That’s right. She deserved it.”

Chu Yunn felt so humiliated and angry when she heard the words from those people that she wanted to die.

She regretted it. She truly regretted it. She shouldn’t have followed her father’s instigation and lowered herself to seduce the Emperor.

If not for that, she would not have fallen to her current state!

When she thought of her noble background, she had never been in such a wretched state as she was now. If the Imperial Guards had not dislocated her chin, she would have bitten her tongue and committed suicide!

Eldest Mrs. Chu was badly injured and could not get out of bed after being severely punished with 30 strokes of the pole. All of a sudden, the status of Duke Jingguo’s Residence, which used to stand above the clouds, was instantly pulled down. Everyone in the Imperial Court felt apprehensive and kept trying to guess the significance behind the Emperor’s actions.

However, other than Chu Yunn who was being hung on the city wall, the Emperor did not take action on anyone else from Duke Jingguo’s Residence. For a while, everyone was curious. They were wondering whether the Emperor was so angry because he felt that Chu Yunn had ruined his relationship with the Empress.

There were many opinions in the Imperial Court.

Chu Yunn was so humiliated and angry that she wanted to die. Every day, many people would stop below the city wall and gossip about her. The words they said were so extremely humiliating that she wished badly that she could die immediately.

After the sky darkened, Chu Yunn felt the rope on her body being pulled up. She knew that the Imperial Guards were going to pull her up and force her to eat. They didn’t want her to die so that they could let people humiliate her continuously.

However, this time, the Imperial Guards untied her and took her to a room under the city wall.

Chu Yunn’s eyelids twitched, and when she raised her head, she saw Su Ying sitting languidly on the chair.

Chu Yunn’s eyes were filled with intense hatred.

“Do you hate me?” Su Ying asked.

Chu Yunn gritted her teeth. She felt that Su Ying also played a big part in the current predicament she was in!

“If you want to kill me, then kill me.. I won’t beg for mercy!”
